Both sizes of the tablet will also feature custom fingerprint scanners. The fingerprint sensors are similar to Apple’s TouchID, and will let Galaxy Tab S2 owners set the tablets to only unlock or approve certain actions, like in-app purchases, after their user has proven their identity using the scanner.

Samsung also made a big deal about both versions of the Galaxy Tab S2’s displays, claiming it has calibrated them to the Adobe RGB colour standard and loaded them with an advanced Adaptive Display technology. The Adobe RGB colour standard is a set of rules designed to ensure colours on displays are realistic.

The Adaptive display tech is designed to let the Galaxy Tab S2’s display dynamically adjust and optimise the screens settings to run is specific lighting conditions.

Both versions of the Galaxy Tab S2 are set to run using the previous generation Android 5.0 Lollipop operating system, not Google’s latest 5.1 version. The use of an older Android version is slightly sad. While Android 5.1 isn’t a massive update it does add a few useful features. These include a number of under the hood performance and stability upgrades and a device protection security service. The service makes it easier for users to remotely lock or factory reset lost or stolen devices.

At the time of publishing, Samsung hadn’t responded to Business Insider’s request for comment about when the Galaxy Tab S2 will be updated to the newer version of the Android operating system.

For business buyers, or people looking to use their tablet for work, Samsung has loaded both variants of the Galaxy Tab S2 with Microsoft Office and 100GB of free space on OneDrive for the first two years after purchase.

Samsung hasn’t confirmed either version of the Galaxy Tab S2’s price and has left it with an August, 2015 global release date.

The news follows a report from KGI analysts, reported on by 9to5Mac, that Apple is planning to release a thinner, next-generation iPad mini later this year.
